Chapter 1072: Chapter 35: Beginning
"Do you remember the Heavenly Palace?"
The familiar term came from Bai, and Wen Yu nodded unconsciously.
The Heavenly Palace had a massive impact on Wen Yu, even on the whole world! Wen Yu gained a mutation in his skill system from the Heavenly Palace, obtained countless treasures, acquired the Ancient God Palace and the Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill! He learned the correct way to unlock the Soul Skill System!
And Tang Haofei, he gained Tang Two at the cost of power...
It’s no exaggeration to say that after the trip to the Heavenly Palace, the entire world’s structure changed dramatically.
"That place is my old home after all. I’ve been commuting between the two realms for these few years. I also take strolls around the Heavenly Palace occasionally and discovered quite a few good things..."
"Wouldn’t you take the good stuff for yourself?"
Wen Yu looked at Bai in confusion, only to be met with Bai’s wry smile.
"Do you remember Da Luo?"
Wen Yu nodded.
"The entire Heavenly Palace was reset by the Dominator. The natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes inside reverted to being mindless puppets. A while ago, I found the secret treasury of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but Da Luo was made the guardian of the treasury by the Dominator. That guy used to be a Sequence-class powerful expert in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes. How am I supposed to fight that? I had no choice but to come and ask for help."
Bai’s tone was frivolous, clasping his hands behind his head as he leaned back to look at Wen Yu. After a moment’s thought, Wen Yu asked.
"How far? How far is that treasury from the entrance to the treasure land?"
"The tenth floor of the Heavenly Palace, not too far. I’ve got the route mapped out perfectly. At my speed, it takes only an hour to reach the treasury gate from the treasure land entrance... but that’s assuming there are no Sequence-class powerful experts from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes along the way."
Hearing this, Wen Yu gently tapped the table with his forefinger, striking a thoughtful pose. After a while, he asked again.
"How do we split the spoils?"
"How about fifty-fifty?"
"You take one, I take nine!"
"That’s too harsh, sixty-four split, no less."
"Twenty-eighty, that’s my limit!"
Bai was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "Then let’s go with twenty-eighty. When do we set off?"
"Now."
Wen Yu stood up immediately, collected the blank scroll on the table, and headed out. Bai inadvertently reminded Wen Yu with a sentence.
"Isn’t there something you need to do here? It won’t delay your business?"
"Business? Finding benefits and treasures is the business!"
Wen Yu declared righteously.
"Besides, it’ll be a round trip, at most three hours, nothing major will happen."
Not to mention that everything seems calm now; even if a battle were raging, Wen Yu could still carve out three hours.
"Three hours? Are you sure?"
Wen Yu’s confident demeanor surprised Bai greatly—it meant Wen Yu was sure he could deal with Da Luo and loot the spoils within an hour.
This speed was truly astonishing.
"Stop wasting time, lead the way."
Wen Yu’s concise words set the tone for the plan.
...
Wen Yu and Bai quietly left, yet going out to seek treasures wasn’t akin to theft, so Wen Yu didn’t intentionally hide his presence.
When the news of Wen Yu’s departure reached the Demigod, the Demigod merely nodded slightly before rising and leaving.
Wen Yu, undoubtedly the strongest of the age! When playing conspiracies and tricks, especially those involving massive plots, even with the Demigod’s strength and means, he had to avoid Wen Yu as much as possible.
As for how to avoid him...
A secret treasury is an excellent choice.
The treasure is real, unquestionably so. Da Luo is indeed guarding it, and it was once the secret treasury of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance! If not truly unable to access the treasure, Bai wouldn’t have casually mentioned this to Wen Yu; a twenty-eighty split isn’t as comfortable as keeping it all to oneself? So, Bai couldn’t deal with Da Luo either!
Everything was real...
Though the price was high, it was the only entirely reassuring bait...
After all, it was a secret treasury left behind by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, worthy of Da Luo’s personal guarding... Who doesn’t like treasures?
Wen Yu’s old friends, old rivals, knew Wen Yu’s nature thoroughly—even when Wen Yu knew nothing about it, thinking the world was entirely harmonious, a highly valuable treasure indeed captured all of Wen Yu’s attention.
Though only three hours, hopefully, it would be enough...
The Demigod thought so, then took out a communicator and dialed a certain number.
"The plan is starting."
A deep voice came through the communicator.
"Understood."
...
Yanjing, Transfer Square.
With a flash of teleportation light, a plainly dressed middle-aged man appeared next to the Exchange Stone Pillar.
Listening to the bustling sounds around him, the middle-aged man’s eyes filled with memories...
"The familiar air, the familiar hustle and bustle, the familiar world..."
Sentimentality aside, the middle-aged man lamented for a moment before shrugging off the sentimentality. He easily squeezed through the crowd and then took out a rough hand-drawn map. After some time, the middle-aged man discerned the direction and walked straight towards a certain location.
Until he arrived at a heavily guarded military camp.
"Stop!"
The camp guards diligently fulfilled their duties, halting the middle-aged man. But as soon as the middle-aged man took out a Token, all obstacles vanished.
Just like that, he walked through the military camp, to the Exchange Stone Pillar that connected the Eternal Sky City and the Yanjing Assembly Site, and chose to teleport.
Until the dizziness subsided, the middle-aged man had already arrived inside the Eternal Sky City.
He gently weighed the Token in his hand, smiled, and shook his head.
"The Demigod Handwriting... heh, power is indeed a good thing..."
Saying so, the middle-aged man crushed the Token into pieces, then leisurely walked into the Eternal Sky City.
Ten minutes later, the middle-aged man arrived at the entrance of a luxurious mansion adjacent to the central control tower of the Eternal Sky City.
The mansion was massive, yet empty—no gatekeepers or even maids. This was rare in the sequence-beings residential area of Eternal Sky City, but when it belonged to the Demigod, it all made sense.
The Demigod wouldn’t reside in the Eternal Sky City; it was merely symbolic, like every Sequence-class expert receiving such a mansion.
The security measures of the mansion were quite perfect; the main gate required both a key and a code to open, and entering the wrong code would trigger an alarm.
The middle-aged man took out a key, entered the code, and the gate opened leisurely. Everything seemed so calm and unhurried. He then locked the gate, entered the courtyard, and extracted a nearly three-meter-tall, globe-like device from his space ring.
It was the Boundary Cracking Device.
After completing all this, the middle-aged man looked up at the distant spire of the central control tower of the Eternal Sky City. With a smile, he took out a communicator, and dialed the Demigod’s number.
"Ye Nan is ready."
